Equivalent area of pipe subject to uniform axial force
Input(s)
\(\mathrm{A}_{\mathrm{b}}\): Area of Body \(\left(\right.\) in. \(\left.^{2}\right)\)
\(\mathrm{A}_{\mathrm{j}}\): Area of Joint ( in. \({ }^{2}\) )
\(\alpha\): Length Factor for Pipe Body (fraction)
Output(s)
\(A_{p}\) :Area of Pipe ( in. \({ }^{2}\) )
Formula(s)
\[
\mathrm{A}_{\mathrm{p}}=\frac{\mathrm{A}_{\mathrm{b}} * \mathrm{~A}_{\mathrm{j}}}{\alpha * \mathrm{~A}_{\mathrm{b}} *(1-\alpha) * \mathrm{~A}_{\mathrm{j}}}
\]
